Summary

Are you a Chartered/Near Chartered Structural Engineer who enjoys hands-on design, leading projects from concept to completion, and making a real impact in a smaller, close-knit firm? Looking for more autonomy, professional growth, and a chance to shape a growing practice?


KPT Design Ltd could be the perfect next step in your career.


We’re an established structural and civil engineering consultancy based in South West London, with a strong reputation for high-quality work and lasting client relationships. Our portfolio includes bespoke residential projects (both new builds and refurbishments), schools, commercial buildings, and community spaces—with values up to £10m. Much of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals, which reflects the trust we’ve built over time.



What you’ll be doing:


  • Leading projects from day one—client contact, site visits, concept design, and delivery
  • Mentoring and supporting junior engineers and technicians
  • Working alongside the MD and senior team members to shape the future of the practice
  • Contributing to business growth and development (if that’s your thing)
  • Designing everything from new-build schemes to basement conversions, refurbishments, and temporary works
  • Producing calculations, reports, and inspections while collaborating directly with architects, contractors, and homeowners



What we’re looking for:


  • Chartered or near-Chartered status (IStructE or ICE)
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence in leading projects and representing the practice
  • Strong technical ability across all main materials (steel, concrete, timber, masonry)
  • A hands-on engineer who enjoys varied and challenging projects
  • An interest in shaping a growing company—with potential for near-future Directorship
  • Proficiency in structural design software and preferably AutoCAD



Why join KPT Design?


  • Real autonomy and input—no red tape, no silos
  • Excellent bonus scheme and competitive salary
  • Great working environment in a modern office with strong transport links
  • Family-friendly, relaxed, and supportive team culture
  • Regular exposure to high-end, creative architectural projects
  • A genuine opportunity to grow with the business—with leadership succession on the horizon



Whether you're ready to step into a leadership role or just want to focus on hands-on, varied engineering, we’d love to hear from you!
